Mental Health Awareness Training

This Mental Health Awareness Training course helps participants develop a clear understanding of mental health, along with practical ways to support their own wellbeing and assist others.

  • £25.00 excl. VAT

Description

The training explores common signs that may suggest someone is struggling, as well as factors that can contribute to poor mental health. It also introduces practical techniques to help reduce these risks and promote positive mental wellbeing.

Recognising that stigma can prevent individuals from seeking help, the course encourages open conversations and reinforces the message that many people will experience mental health challenges at some point in their lives—either personally or through someone close to them.
